Personal Notes:
I don’t know where I got this and as I was typing I saw a basic flaw. It calls for 1 cup pecans and then 1 cup pecan pieces. I believe 1 cup only will do but will have to test this come Christmas time. (I did and I changed). I suppose you could make this with 1 cup of any kind of nuts if you don’t like pecans. Be careful on the second step, I managed to burn a batch by letting it get too brown. Use a clear bowl so you can see the color. The addition of the baking soda will surprise you! 10/02/05
